The Backyard Charizard

He knows that rent is expensive and at 8 years old I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to be homeless...

Thanks mate... We film a lot of stuff but this was the first time we've decided to head along and vlog at the footy! Was a lot of fun... I sort of feel a bit torn this morning as the win on the weekend was out of this world, but then the news this morning throws a cloud over the mood... Will make it all the sweeter when Jesse wins a flag with the boys in a few years!

For those who have never made the trip, do yourselves a favour... It's a magnificent venue that is wasted on these local tools... It's just nice to watch us take over for a few hours every year!

The young fella and I decided we would take along our camera to the game on Saturday night.... We are so glad we did! After living in Adelaide for 10 years there is no sweeter sight than watching the Crows fans stream out of the ground before the final siren... The video is around 30 minutes long (with the official highlights footage thrown in at the breaks) Like it, Share it, Do whatever you want with it.... But most of all enjoy it! We certainly did! My personal highlight is around the 20 minute mark of the video

The first Melksham incident wasn't that bad, just a tap to the guts.... But the second one, after numerous views, was a roundhouse right to the head! A week is a good result! Silly by Jake after being a dead certainty to return to the AFL side on the back of his performance...

For my take on Round 4 click on the link below As I've said, I will continue to drop these little gems (time permitting) If there's any particular topic you'd like me to give my ramblings on then feel free to let me know. Fire away with the questions and I will answer them during the next video. https://youtu.be/EQ_Y1EC_SiE

Here it is.... I am stuck on call for work and my phone has been running hot... https://youtu.be/8gDQycFzbDg

Not sure if we can drum up 4,300 odd membership sales.... Oh well....

Not sure anyone has mentioned it in all the chaos... but does anyone else think that this unfortunate injury could free our players of any pressure to make finals, thus allowing them to just go hell for leather in an all out assault on every opposition they come up against? This is what I am rolling with... Must be a silver lining somewhere in this [censored] storm!

FULL REVIEW OF ROUND 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73C3-nUgyM * I am in no way a professional video editor but I do enjoy talking and my young kids get a kick out of seeing themselves on YouTube - Feel free to subscribe if you like Pokemon, Shopkins and the odd random video. I will continue to review the UF rounds until someone tells me to stop because it's giving them the $hits

I'm quietly confident but a little worried at the same time... We need to stand up and not fall into the Cats trap that I guarantee they will set for us... Geelong will often allow us to win the stoppage and the resulting clearance, but with enough pressure that it means we hack the ball forward out of the midfield where they will be planning to use their run out of the D50 to counter attack us... You watch how they do it... Winning the clearances WILL NOT win us this match! We need to be smart and our F50 pressure needs to be on point, which is why I think we have picked the side we have for this one... We will hit a lot of forward pocket space today and hopefully lock it in with our pressure. Geelong are not that good but their senior players are really good at structuring to a plan. Im excited to see how we go and have faith in our coaching staff to avoid an embarrassment but just not 100% confident of a win... We shall see soon enough

If Hogan appealed he "may" get downgraded to 1 week... but at the end of the day he still misses the ONE week we need him most early this season! I'm more angry at our players than the bureaucracy

Nice SF reference

Hogan has his jumper sorted for when he returns...

As angry and annoyed I am about this one, the "open palm" defence won't do anything... Does this mean I can go out and, with an open hand, smash my palm into the nose of my opponent, shattering it all in the thought that I will get off due to not having a closed fist? I think not...

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, there's only two people who look like phlogs

Great.... Now i'm out for 4-6 with a neck strain

As frustrating as it is, I'm excited by the prospect of seeing how we go without a couple of key players over the coming weeks... I think we'll be fine! Let's not allow ourselves to be dee-railed by things we cannot undo. Learn, move forward and DEESTROY the opposition (legally of course)

That's because we are!

I see what you did there

Love the weed everyday

This is great! We have a huge victory but the media will almost forget about us because of Roo's injury and Essendrug winning! We just go about our business now, demolish Carlscum by 10+ goals and give the media a second opportunity next week!

From the Gameday thread I present Exhibit A... I rest my case! "No negativity here... Just the anxious feeling I get as a player and a passionate member at an all time high... I vomited 5 mins ago and 100% on task now! This could be epic people... Let's do this!"

Goody just interviewed by Roosy on Fox "You're going to see effort and intensity and it's going to be a really positive day" I hope you're right coach!
